My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Harold is a 6-year-old gentle giant with a heart of gold! This sweetheart who’s been through a lot but hasn’t let it dull his sparkle. When he first arrived on April 26, 2025 he was emaciated and in need of some serious TLC—but with lots of love, a great care plan, and his own determination, Harold is now 95 pounds and has a whole new lease on life.

Don’t let his size fool you—Harold is a big softie with a calm, affectionate nature. He’s got a goofy charm, a spunky spirit, and a heart that’s as big as his paws. Despite his not-so-graceful coordination (which only adds to his charm!), he gets around just fine and never misses a chance to show off his happy nub wiggles and soulful eyes.

Harold still has weight to gain, but he’s completely vetted and adoption-ready. He’d thrive in a home where he can continue to be on a good diet, get daily belly rubs, and be the loyal, loving companion he was always meant to be.

If you're looking for a resilient, kind-hearted dog who will make you smile every single day—Harold is your guy. 💙

Meet the Pet

Potential adopter(s) will meet the dog. At this time there will also be a meet and greet between any other pets included in the household.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption process consists of an initial application for the animal of interest, followed by reference checks (both personal and with a veterinarian), a home visit, and finally if approved an adoption contract. All animals are required to be inside companion pets and the owner must maintain veterinary care throughout the life of the animal.

Adoption fees are $150 for dogs, unless it is fostered through us for another rescue and $75 for cats.

All animals are up to date with vaccinations and spayed/neutered before adoption.

Go meet their pets

Arrangements can be made to visit with any of our pets, but because we are foster based and do not have one facility, appointments must be made to do so. To visit with a pet, please contact us at 814-421-7078 by phone or text.

More about this rescue

We are a small foster based rescue, not a shelter, comprised of multiple individuals that open their homes to stray, sick, and forgotten animals in need. We began the rescue in the Ligonier Area to focus on issues of stray, abandoned, and neglected animals. We often took in animals for the local police departments instead of having them sent to animal control. We have since expanded and try to cooperate with the public, other rescues, and other animal groups to assist any animal in need. Our primary focus area for intake though is still the Ligonier Valley. Adoptions can be made to any area as long as the adoption process is completed.
